The good people of Shepherdstown

procession was formed of the Shep-

under the marshalship of Capt. Lee
III. Moler, and moved from town to
the Cemetery adjacent. After music
by the band, the Rev. A. A. P. Neel
offered a most appropriate and i'm
pressive prayer; the Lutheran choir
then sang a beautiful ode, after which
the Hon. VIM. l.. Wilson, in eloquent
and complimentary terms. introduced
the Rev. DIR. A. G. Hopkins, ali ex-
Confederate chaplain, who delivered
one of the ablest and most interesting
addresses that we have ever heard on
an occasion of this kind. The Band
then played, after which Col. III. Kyd
Douglas entertained the assemblage
in brief but eloquent address. Then
followed the calling of the roll of hon.
or, singing by the choir, benediction
and strewing flowers, after which the
procession returned to town and was
dismissed.

Thirty-seven years ago yesterday
week, Mr.. John Perryman took up
his residence in Martinsburg. Though
he left forever his native land, he has
not forgotten his mothers tongue r or
lost in sympathy and affection for his
afflicted Irish people. He has made
himself useful and respected Ameri-
en- citizen, and we hope many years
of health and happiness may yet be
in store for him.

only one day without rain for two

Monday, we had three more rainy
days this week and the hay crop will

BILE in keeping down the weeds, ow-

And still some people complain of
this being dry county.

RUNAwAY.-A colored man named
Jones, in the employ ofG. F. Mann,
of Martinsburg, accompanied by an
other citizen of that place, had come
to Winchester last Sunday in a buggy,
and were driving down North Mark
ct street, when the vehicle became
uncoupled in some way, frightening
the horse, which started off at full
speed. The buggy collided with a
lamp-post nearly in front of John
Lupton's dwelling, knocking the top
off and demolishing the vehicle. But
the animal kept on till it reached Po-
tato Hill before being stopped. The
men were not seriously hurt, but the
buggy was scattered along the road.

One of his valuable mares dying and
leaving foal two weeks old, he was
put to his wits as to how raise to the
colt. Having an Attorney COW in his
stable the idea struck him to make
the COW raise it. So, taking the colt
to the stable and introducing it to the
COW, they soon took to each other and
now the colt has forgotten his original

THE EARTH KEPT TREMBLING

up to the time we left Nice for Geneva,
five days later, where we stayed one
week; finding the weather very rainy,
we went to Montreux, where we ex-
pected to find the genial weather of a
former visit. We were disappointed.
1t rained when we arrived; kept that
up, then it showed two feet deep-a
phenomenon rarely seen there, which
the residents, together with Professor
Falb, are prone to ascribe to tue prox-
unity of the moon to the earth, and the
consequent disturbing lunar IL tl,.s nces

WERE THE SITUATION LESS TERRIBLE.
Some "maskers" still wore masks
which in their fright they had for
gotten to remove.
Everybody was trying to get out of
Nice anyway they could. Many a
King lin costume) was seen drag
ging a half-flled carpet-bag or
a lot of clothing over his arm, and
ike Richard III would have ex-
changed their principalities earthly
for a horse.
AS there were several more shocks
that day, each succeeding shock being
fainter than its predecessors, no one
would venture into the houses. 1t is
safe to say that there was not a house
IN Nice that was not more or less in
jured. For four days and nights we
lived out in the streets; we could not
leave Nice sooner. All the hotel guests
Kings and Emperors, not excepted
dined in the streets at small tables
brought out from their hotels.

CLARENs.
After spending the summer of 1886 in
Kissingen, Interlachen, Hustrich Ia
small watering place near Thun and
where we found some of the best
scenery to be met with in Switzerland),
Reichenhall, and later on in Meran, we
concluded to spend the winter on the
Riviera, selecting Nice as the most de-
sirable place to stay in, where we passed
four months in the most pleasant man
ner imaginable; in fact, we should have
remained in Nice two months longer
had not the terrible earthquake of
February %, 1887, terminated our stay
rather suddenly.
THE CARNIVAL,
the greatest and most effective that Nice
had witnessed for many years had just
ended. Nice was swarming with
strangers; hotels, pensions and private
apartments were filled to their
capacity. Passing on sidewalks had
been reduced to q science of dexterous
elbowing.
Encouraged by the presence of such
crowds, the municipal council of Nice
spared no money TO make the carnival
the crowning glory of the season.
This was our first carnival and never,
though Methusalem's age be attained,
can L forget the grand parade of Sun
day, February Goth, which was the
first day of the Battle of Confetti, which
last, by the way, is some kind of clay
dried in the form of small pea, which
the maskers throw at each other, and
of which many thousand pounds are
bought and thrown. The streets after
wards, in some places, were covered a
foot deep, making a terrible dust. OF
course, everybody is bound to wear
domino, and wire helmets to protect
themselves against the flying missiles.
Who comes into the crowd thus unpro-
vlded will be compelled to beat hasty
retreat, a fact [ learned by removing
my mask for few moments.
Sunday was glorious day. In front
OF US were marching
ARTIsTICALLY DRESSED ''MAsKERs,"
some in chariots drawn by four and
six horses, some on horseback,
others on foot-the whole forming
procession two miles in length.
The gorgeous colors of blue, red, yell
low, pink, white, purple, green, with
silver and gold dazzling as they were,
combined TO make grand sight.
To our left danced the blue waters OF
the Mediterranean to our right stood
Castle Hill, sacred to Gamtetta and
Garibaldi.
The evening closed with grand FIRE
works, and the burning of Carnival in
effigy.
That evening we sought rest with
sense of relief that the carnival was
over. ats O'Clock the next morning
most people had just returned from
the theatre, the Casino and other places;
others were still dancing and feasting
The streets were deserted; an unnatural
calm prevailed-the calm before the
storm. At once it seemed
